I know, I know, it’s HOT, it’s miserably HOT, but I encourage everone to take advantage of the good weather and get outside. Go for a walk, a hike, or just a nice drive through the mountains. You’ll see beautiful landscapes, gorgeous flowers, and maybe even a shy deer or two.

I took the time yesterday to have myself a little adventure on the Umatilla River. I found beautiful things to photograph, and I renewed my spirit.

Have a wonderful week!
